Aussie Politics

A bit of strife has followed this years Labor budget which announced that over the next 4 years the countries economy will go close to 200 billion dollars in debt.

This issue was actually the main reason as to why I kick started the blog again, I got sick of a few thing, firstly arguing on facebook, its annoying, that facebook limits you to 1000 characters per post and 3rd I am just sick of seeing die hard liberal fans so biased to the party that they haven't stop to consider that their own party has no better solution, they are opposing for the sake of opposing and that's as weak as piss in my books, if your going to oppose the government tell me what it is doing wrong and then how you can make it better.

I find myself in an interesting position here, I supported Rudd's economic stimulus package but not to the extent of creating such a massive debt for the next 3 Liberal governments to have to pay off, albeit the stimulus is only a fraction of the debt which also consist of a massive infrastructure investment along with Rudd's fiber internet policies. Rudd Claims that such spending will make him the messiah of this global recession/depression, whilst Hockey and Turnbull are calling Rudd reckless. I kind of agree with both sides of parliament here. I see positives arising from Rudd's spending on infrastructure but at the same time I agree with Hockey that such spending is casino economic.

Anyway, the real heart of the story and this post is rumors of the possibility of Turnbull and the Liberals blocking supply in the Senate and thus forcing a double dissolution.

Several liberal party members (though i think the vegetated matter of their brain should see them in the Endeavor foundation instead)are going on about how they should do this and how they would annihilate labor at the next election. I just wanted to take some time to firstly say your a dickhead if you believe such is the case.

In my opinion, if Turnbull is to block supply and force a double dissolution then he would slice his own throat, If we go to an election in the coming months Labor will only increase their percentage in the lower house and I believe the Libs would loose their stalemate holdings in the senate, thus giving Labor effective control of both houses. I feel Turnbull would be that heavily defeated at the election that he would have no choice but to resign. This I believe would pave the way for Peter Costello to come out of the shadows and take control of the party with a clean slate from Nelson or Turnbull. I would then go on to say that Costello would win government within the next 3 to 6 years.

I actually hope the above does occur, though my allegiance is currently with Labor I am an old Howard's Liberal man and I would love to see the party returned to its former glory.
